The Highlights of 2025

For several years now, I’ve had the habit of publishing a selection of photos with my highlights of the year on my personal Facebook page at the end of the year. This year, I also started publishing more of the photos I took in the Netherlands on my website. That started with the Spectacled Eider on Texel in January, and my first monthly overview covered May 2025. Recently, I also published an overview of autumn 2025. It seemed nice to also publish a full year overview here now. For readers who are not familiar with the Netherlands: the places I write about are located in the Netherlands unless stated otherwise.

The Highlights of June 2025

June is not exactly the most thrilling month for birdwatchers. Migration has pretty much come to a halt—there’s still some movement, but compared to the spectacle of May, it feels rather uneventful. Personally, I even find June one of the slowest months of the year. I’m not too fascinated by fledglings, and after the excitement of May it’s a bit of a letdown to see the same species, in the same numbers, day after day in my local patches.
